EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art titled "Western Kings on Horseback, First third of 17th cen". The anonymous artist skillfully captures the essence of the Momoyama period in Japan through this stunning painting. Found in the esteemed collection of the Suntory Museum of Art, this work is an exquisite example of Japanese folding screens, also known as byobu. The scene depicted on this screen unfolds with three kings mounted on majestic horses. Reminiscent of biblical figures, these regal men are believed to represent Melchior, Caspar, and Balthasar - commonly known as the Three Wise Men or Magi. Hailing from the East, they bring gifts to honor a significant event. Rendered using watercolor and ink on paper, this genre painting beautifully captures intricate details and vibrant colors. The composition exudes elegance and grace while showcasing elements from both Western and Eastern cultures. This fusion creates a harmonious blend that epitomizes Oriental arts. As we gaze upon this paravent (folding screen), we are transported back in time to witness a momentous encounter between two worlds. It serves as a testament to the cultural exchange that occurred during Japan's Momoyama period. With its rich historical significance and artistic brilliance, this print allows us to appreciate not only fine art but also the profound connections between different civilizations throughout history.
